Secret Art finished ahead of Gold Hunter and Fils Anges at Newmarket in August but they all finished in a heap that day and, at the revised weights, Saeed bin Suroor's gelding is fancied to do best here. But LIFE PARTNER will carry Godolphin's first colours and looks on course for a hat-trick after producing a fine turn of foot to score on his handicap debut at HQ having been held up off a fast pace. He's only been put up 4lb and looks a step ahead of the handicapper. Secretinthepark deserves to win a decent prize after a string of solid efforts over 6f. He's won both starts over this longer trip but is still creeping up the weights. Homage is better than he showed last time while Consign has been in good form in lesser company and warrants respect. Regal Dan won at this meeting last year and also has claims but Purcell just scraped home at Chester last time and has an extra furlong to cover now.
